There's nothing like a little QVC to jog a girl's memory. Though the product currently being peddled (sp?) has nothing to do with what I wanted to remember, the soft gentle drone of QVC in the background of my half-assed chores triggered the recovery of the thing I wanted to remember to blog about. What do you know!?!
Okay, so I paused on QVC a few nights ago. (I know...some of you are thinking that I love QVC much more than just a half-hearted 'pause.' And you're right.) Anyway...back to my pausing on QVC a few nights ago...It was scrapbooking hour or something. The item being sold was some sort of double-sided tape dispenser. To demonstrate just how amazingly incredibly easy it is to use, an audience member got to try! She took her place behind the table and was immediately informed that she would be using a round circle (cut-out). Hmmm...Does anyone else see the problem here? For a moment, I was afraid that circles had changed their shape and that there were also square, oblong, and triangle circles. Why would it be necessary to describe the circle as round? Isn't a circle by its very nature....ROUND!?!?! Have we really succumbed to such idiocy that we think the viewing public needs to be told that a circle is, indeed........ROUND?
A circle is round...What do you know!?!?!

Oh my dear friend, one who never mis-states anything! So eloquent in her speech. Big smile...giving you a hard time. It is funny to hear people say stuff like that, funny thing is I do it all the time and you seem to be much more forgiving of me. Of which I am grateful. But you love me and that is understood.
What other pet peeves lurk...hmm.
Some of mine happen to be when people use double negatives, the non-word "irregardless," and cannot seem to find an agreeable verb for their noun, singular or plural, pick one.
Then there is my biggest problem I have, I cannot figure out the whole personal pronoun bit! Is it he or him, she or her, me or I? I just get so confused. I missed that day at school, or the couple days it was being taught. I think I had tonsilitis.
Anyway, I was thinking we should have two categories of circles...round and oblong. That seems fair. We can redefine it how we want...all the cool kids are doing it...just look at QVC.
